Please don’t forget to check your allocated time for Parent/ Carer Meetings as we are running these on multiple days.
We are looking forward to seeing you to discuss your child’s learning!
We’d like to gently remind you that meeting slots are not flexible as we have so many lovely parents and carers to see – if you feel your meeting needed to go on longer than the allocated 15 minutes, do just ask to make another appointment. Please make sure you arrive five minutes before your meeting time.
Thank you,
The Reception Team
We are looking forward to meeting with you all over the next few weeks. Every child has been given an appointment – it is very important that you attend to discuss your child’s progress and attainment. A list of times will be displayed at the Reception entrance to remind you of your slot. Please make sure you look at this to check your time.
The year has flown by and we can’t believe that we’re in our final term of the Reception year!
As we approach Year 1, we are building the stepping stones for a secure transition. Please use the links in our previous blogs to revisit and review our learning. The images below show the Early Learning Goals that your child is expected to have achieved by the end of Reception. As we work to ensure that your child feels confident in most of these areas, it is crucial that you are working with them at home to consolidate their learning in school.
Please remember to read daily with your child.
This term, we are reviewing Phase 2 and 3 sounds and tricky words. We will use our phonetic knowledge to begin reading, writing and spelling longer words. Take a look at the following links for some free Home Learning resources.

For Maths, our first block of learning will be focusing on numbers to 20 and beyond. This week, children will be asked to choose a number card, make the number on a counting string and build the number using building blocks. At home, you can support this learning with the following free resources.

As always, Home Learning is due every Wednesday and is given out every Friday.
Looking forward to a happy and exciting Summer Term!
Thank you for your continued support,

Hello to our lovely Reception parents and carers,
We are so excited to begin our new term and continue our wonderful learning. This term, our topic is Earth and Beyond – we will discover the planets in our solar system and explore outer space.
Here’s a song to sing at home!

As we begin a new term we would like to kindly remind you that the school day begins at 8:45am and ends at 3:15pm. It is essential for your child’s learning and progress that they arrive on time daily. We are understanding of the occasional lateness but consistent lateness has a huge impact on your child’s overall school experience and we do keep a daily record of late arrivals.
We will be updating this blog weekly with examples of our learning and ideas for home learning so please remember to keep checking the blog!
If you have any questions please come and chat to a member of the Reception Team.
– Miss Ellery and Ms Kelleher

Father Christmas surprised us with a special gift before Christmas Day.
We were so excited to tell him what we want for Christmas this year.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
We enjoyed talking about Winter and all the wonderful things it brings.
Our talented teachers painted our faces to celebrate Winter and the ending of our Autumn Term.
Have a look yourself!
Thank you for the lovely contributions to our party – it was wonderful!
We danced the afternoon away.
We have had a fantastic first term in Reception. The Reception Team would like to thank our amazing families for all their continued support. We are looking forward to all the learning that is to come in the Spring Term.
Happy Holidays!
